Tips For Making No-Bread Egg Sandwich In Frying Pan
Here are some tips for you to make a no-bread egg sandwich like a pro.
- If you want to check whether your eggs have perfect stiff peaks, just dip the whisk in the eggs and lift it out. If the whipped egg white peak falls or bends, it can be considered a soft peak. If the peak holds its shape, it can be considered stiff.
- You should whisk the eggs on a double boiler to prevent curdling.
- If you are fond of meat, you can add sausage, bacon, cooked small and boneless meat pieces, etc., to the cooked eggs.
- If you don’t have extra virgin olive oil, you can use regular vegetable oil.
- You can melt the cheese with a blowtorch to get a liquid cheese.
